PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – It was always going to be a tough choice for Tiger Woods, who has repeatedly said less is more when it comes to his schedule, and he confirmed on Friday at The Open that it will be next week’s World Golf Championship in Memphis that will take the hit.
Following a second-round 70 that left him tied for 130th and well outside the cut at Royal Portrush, Woods said he won’t play the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in order to prepare for the playoffs, which begin in two weeks.
“I'm going to take a couple of weeks off and get ready for the playoffs,” Woods said.
